CSSP – Contractor Site Safety Program

Once setup, you can build a CSSP in minutes, rather than hours.

A CSSP, or Contractor Site Safety Program, is a popular term in Many Middle Eastern and American countries, and is part of your company’s HSE Health & Safety Management Program. It is more detailed than a SSSP.

The information contained must only refer to the activities of that project only.

With Zardcos Software you can build the content to your requirements. Our versatile indexing system allow you to do this. (Suggest see the video on Custom indexes). A Standard CSSP index is included – which allows you to use it, edit it, or build your own.

About the content

The regulations do not tell us what a Health and Safety File must look like, so we have built Zardocs around what is considered ‘common practice’ – we provide all the documents commonly used, as well as many that are used for different activities.

These documents will assist you in keeping details up-to-date and relevant.


Zardocs CSSP Modules

Discover Zardocs’s Health and Safety File modules with over 500 customizable templates to choose from.

Our templates are tailored to meet the specific needs of your activity, ensuring you only select the documents that are relevant to your project.
